INTRODUCTION. 


For  tin   third  time,  this  booh  is  sent  by  the  author  [tfo.  first 

being  scut  in  1887  and  the  second  in  1889)  to  parties ,  whom 
it  is  intended  to  serve, principally  through  the  /Southern  States. 
It  was  jlr.st  published,  as  it  is  now,  to  satisfy  thousands  of 
inquiries  made  to  the  tor  iter  either  in  person  or  by  letter  as  to 
who  were  the  leading  houses  in  certain  lines  or  where  to  find 
numerous  articles,  and  knowing  a  work  like  this,  embracing  so 
many  industries,  would  be  appreciated  by  both  friends  and 
strangers  and  be  preserved  for  reference,  is  the  sole  object  of  its 
publication. 

The  book  is  neither  devoted  to  history  nor  art.  It  Jills  more 
nearly  the  average  business  want,  as  a  guide  to  Baltimore  s 
leading  industries  ;  and  while  a  goodly  number  of  our  promi- 
nent firms  may  not  appear,  those  constituting  this  booh  will  be 
recognized,  in  most  cases,  as  not  only  among  the  first  and  best 
in  their  lines  in  this  city,  but  in  this  country.

10  Baltimore's  400  Directory. 


PROGRESSIVE    BALTIMORE. 


To-day  it  may  be  written  of  Baltimore,  that  it  is  not  only  a  city 
whose  monuments  have  given  it  a  distinctive  title,  but  that  it  is  also 
a  centre  of  commercial  enterprise  and  manufacturing  industry,  as 
well  as  a  seat  of  intellectual  vigor,  all  of  which  combine  to  make 
its  influence  felt  more  and  more  widely  every  year. 

Long  a  leader  in  commerce,  Baltimore  has  in  later  years  greatly 
expanded  it  manufactures  until  now  her  productive  establishments 
are  so  numerous,  that  they  include  a  great  variety  of  smaller  indus- 
tries, as  well  as  many  of  the  largest  enterprises  in  the  United  States. 

It  was  recognized  long  before  the  revolutionary  war,  that  the 
favorable  situation  of  the  city  near  the  mouth  of  the  Patapsco  river, 
where  it  empties  into  Chesapeake  Bay,  midway  of  the  Atlantic 
coast,  was  an  advantage  which  gave  the  city  a  start  in  life,  so  to 
speak,  and  encouraged  its  merchants  to  persevere,  first  with  canal 
and  then  with  railroads  to  develop  the  West.  The  history  of  the 
city,  in  this  connection,  is  full  of  interest,  and  its  achievements  as 
creditable  to  the  energy  and  courage  of  its  people,  as  the  notable 
instance  of  its  successful  defense  against  invasion  in  war.  It  may 
be  claimed  that  Baltimore  was  chiefly  instrumental  in  opening  the 
way  to  the  West  and  facilitating  the  rapid  development  of  that 
empire  of  States  beyond  the  Alleganies,  which  is  the  wonder  of 
modern  progress. 

But  it  is  not  with  the  past,  or  even  with  the  prestige  it  gives,  that 
we  are  to  deal  just  now.  The  past  is  glorious  and  it  has  taken 
care  of  itself.  We  are  in  the  present,  and  movers  and  actors  in  its 
achievements.  We  must  look  at  the  city  as  it  is  now,  after  165 
years  have  passed  since  its  foundation. 

To-day  Baltimore  has  a  population  of  more  than  half  a  million 
of  inhabitants ;  its  area  is  32^  square  miles;  it  has  nearly  a 
thousand  miles  of  paved  streets  and  1200  acres  of  public  parks,  not 
including  squares  and  parked  streets,  planted  with  flowers,  shrub- 
bery, trees,  and  ornamented  with  fountains,  statuary  and  monu- 
ments.

12  BALTIMOBE'e     I""    DlBKOTOET. 

More  than  S  10,000,000  have  been  spent  in  providing  a  water 
supply,  which  for  volume  is  not  exceeded  by  that  of  any  other 
American  city,  and  is  equalled  perhaps  only  by  the  Potomac  supply 
furnished  to  Washington  City  by  the  general  government,  or  by 
the  later  enlarged  system  of  New  York.  It  is  to  this  abundance  of 
water  furnished  to  consumers  at  low  rates,  that  such  an  extra- 
ordinary impulse  has  been  given  in  recent  years  to  manufacturing 
industries,  and  their  multiplication.  There  are  other  factors  of 
course,  but  it  is  due  to  abundant  and  cheap  water,  and  plenty  of 
cheap  coal  from  Maryland  mines,  that  a  multitude  of  smaller  manu- 
facturing industries  owe  their  existence. 

There  is  still  another  important  advantage,  and  that  is  the 
remarkable  cheapness  of  rents  and  living,  in  comparison  with  the 
rates  in  other  large  cities.  Baltimore  stands  unequalled  as  a  city 
of  homes.  Its  domestic  markets  are  the  best  in  the  country. 
There  are  few  or  no  tenement  houses,  such  as  are  known  in  many 
large  cities.  The  great  majority  of  families  occupy  single  houses, 
and  there  are  fewer  families  to  each  dwelling  house  than  in  any 
other  city  of  the  country. 

The  facilities  for  educating  children  can  be  summed  up  in  the 
statement,  that  any  youth  may  go  through  all  the  elementary 
grades,  and  through  college,  up  to  the  doors  of  the  university 
without  cost,  for  books  or  tuition.  Any  youth  may  get  technical 
training  to  fit  him  for  the  higher  employments  in  industrial  life 
free,  and  he  may  earn  university  scholarships  and  fellowships 
which  will  enable  him  to  pursue  scientific  employments.  It  is 
recognized  that  since  steam  has  been  so  largely  supplemented  by 
the  wonderful  development  of  electricity,  and  the  many  practical 
uses  to  which  electricity  has  been  put  in  our  modern  every-day 
life,  that  higher  scientific  education  is  essential  for  the  young  who 
would  advance  their  fortunes.  There  is  no  place  affording  greater 
advantages  than  Baltimore  for  training  in  this  line. 

In  commenting  on  the  growth  of  the  city  during  the  past  few 
years,  the  Baltimore  Sun,  the  leading  paper  of  the  State  of  Mary- 
land, said  editorially,  in  its  issue  of  August  21,  1895  : 

"  The  quickening  impulse  that  has  been  communicated  to  Balti- 
more, and  that  has  been  manifested  in  its  rapid  dev<  loj  ment  and 
its  increased  business  activity  has  been  largely  due  to  local  and 
foreign  appreciation  of  its  opportunities  and  possibilities  as  a  great 
industrial  and  commercial  city.  Its  natural  advantages  of  locatic  n 
as  a  market  and  distributing  point,  and  its  superior  facilities  for

manufactures,  as  well  as  its  temperate  climate  and  general  attrac- 
tiveness, have  at  length  begun  to  draw  to  us  the  capital  and  energy 
of  other  sections,  and  to  stimulate  our  own.  It  must  be  evident  to 
every  one,  who  uses  his  eyes  and  brains,  that  Baltimore  is  rapidly 
changing  not  only  in  outward  aspect,  but  to  a  considerable  extent 
in  character  and  methods.  It  is  fast  outgrowing  the  old-fashioned 
and  somewhat  provincial  spirit  that  characterized  it  for  so  long,  and 
is  assuming,  with  its  increase  in  population  and  wealth,  the  air  of 
earnest  activity  and  progress  that  belongs  to  the  modern  city.  At 
the  present  rate  of  growth  it  is  not  at  all  improbable  that  in  ten 
years  we  shall  number  a  million  inhabitants  in  the  city  and  its 
vicinity." 

The  evidences  of  this  rapid  growth  are  to  be  seen  on  every  side. 
They  comprise  suburban  development,  rapid  transit,  and  the 
extension  of  electrical  railway  lines  all  over  and  around  the  city. 
They  include  much  rebuilding  on  a  larger  scale ;  the  widening  of 
streets  in  the  older  parts  of  the  city;  the  opening  of  broader 
thoroughfares,  and  the  erection  of  some  of  the  finest  business 
buildings  in  the  country. 

It  is  estimated  that  in  the  five  years  that  have  elapsed  since  the 
census  of  1890  was  taken,  more  than  $10,000,000  have  been  invested 
in  converting  horse-car  lines  into  traction  and  electric  car  lines,  to 
say  nothing  of  the  further  sums  necessary  for  the  suburban  exten- 
sion of  these  lines.  In  the  city  over  one  hundred  miles  of  streets 
are  covered  by  rapid  transit  railway  tracks. 

It  was  only  on  the  12th  of  July,  1895,  that  the  Clifton  property 
was  purchased  for  $710,000,  in  the  northeastern  section  of  the  city, 
for  a  public  park.  This  estate  was  held  by  the  Johns  Hopkins 
Trustees,  and  contains  252  acres,  exclusive  of  60  additional  acres 
previously  bought  for  a  lake  in  connection  with  the  city's  water 
supply  system.  Clifton  has  been  settled  upon  as  the  site  of  the 
Baltimore  Centennial  Exposition,  designed  to  be  held  in  1897. 

It  would  exceed  the  limit  of  space  permitted  in  this  publication, 
to  mention  all  the  many  great  enterprises  which  stamp  the  present 
era  of  Baltimore  as  the  most  important  and  progressive  in  its 
history.  But  we  cannot  omit  mention  of  the  Belt  line  of  the  Balti- 
more and  Ohio  Railroad,  seven  miles  long,  including  a  tunnel  one 
mile  long,  lighted  by  innumerable  electric  lamps,  provided  with 
double  tracks.  The  tunnel  extends  under  the  city  at  about  its 
centre,  and  beneath  some  of  the  busiest  streets.  Through  this 
tunnel  the  heaviest  freight  and  passenger  trains  are  drawn  by  the

most  powerful  electric  motor  ever  constructed,  specially  designed 
for  this  service,  and  of  itself  a  notable  scientific  product,  besides 
being  the  starting  point  perhaps  of  a  new  era  in  railroading.  In 
this  connection,  too,  it  cannot  be  forgotten  that  it  was  in  Baltimore 
that  Peter  Cooper  achieved  the  first  success  with  the  steam  rail- 
road locomotive,  just  as  it  was  here  that  Daft  demonstrated  the 
practicability  of  the  first  surface  electric  railroad  and  motor  on  the 
Huntington  route.  Now  we  have  added  to  the  city's  triumphs  of 
i mention  the  powerful  electric  motor  of  the  Belt  line  tunnel  for 
heavy  traffic.  Still  another  step  in  rapid  development  was  the 
recent  establishment,  close  to  Baltimore,  of  the  Sparrow's  Point 
Steel  Works,  an  outgrowth  of  the  parent  concern  at  Steelton,  Pa. 
It  was  the  advantageous  site,  and  proximity  to  deep  water,  that 
first  induced  the  founders  of  the  Sparrow's  Point  works  to  consider 
the  step.  The  result  was  the  construction  of  a  large  suburban 
industrial  town,  with  one  of  the  most  complete  plants  in  the  country 
for  steel  ship-building,  and  other  manufactures  en  a  large  scale. 
Here,  too,  is  the  powerful  steam  crane  which  was  used  to  land  the 
great  Krupp  gun  for  exhibition  at*  the  Chicago  World's  fair. 
Nowhere  else  than  at  Baltimore  were  the  facilities  to  be  found  for 
landing  of  this  great  engine  of  war,  and  other  weighty  exhibits 
sent  over  by  the  same  manufacturers. 

The  toted  value  of  the  manufactured  products  of  Baltimore  in 
1890,  according  to  the  United  States  census,  was  5140,401,026. 
In  1895  tne  total  is  estimated  at  more  than  5200,000,000.  The 
number  of  people  employed  in  manufactures  was  then  nearly 
100,000.  Now  they  number  120,000,  according  to  the  latest 
estimates. 

The  Custom  House  receipts  in  1890  were  $3,105,800;  in  1894 
they  were  £3,188,223. 

The  Bank  clearances  in  1890  were  $753,095,193;  in  1894  they 
were  5673,443,512. 

These  figures,  to  some  extent,  reflect  the  annual  volume  of  busi- 
ness, but  not  all  of  it.  The  productive  enterprise  of  the  pecj  le  is 
shown  to  some  extent  by  the  examples  that  have  been  given,  but 
they  are  only  a  few  of  the  most  conspicuous. 

It  may  be  safely  asserted  that  none  of  the  cities  of  the  Union  are 
in  better  condition,  financially,  or  more  enterprising  than  Baltimore, 
in  this  year  of  grace.  Combined  with  its  well-known  soundness 
and  stability,  are  the  elements  of  progress  visible  on  every  hand, 
which  if  persevered  in  cannot  fail  to  realize  the  highest  expectations.

THE   WOMAN'S   COLLEGE   OP  BALTIMORE. 

John  F.  Goucher,  President. 

The  Woman's  College  of  Baltimore  is  the  latest  of  the  educa- 
tional enterprises  which  look  to  providing  special  facilities  for  the 
higher  education  of  women.  The  question  of  co-education  is  still 
under  debate.  While  many  see  no  disadvantage  in  the  mingling 
of  the  sexes  in  college  life,  or  even  deem  it  a  positive  advantage, 
a  large  proportion  of  persons  prefer  that  their  daughters  should 
receive  their  education  in  an  institution  for  women  only.  The 
Woman's  College  offers  facilities  for  this  purpose  equal  to  those 
of  the  best  colleges  either  for  men  or  women  or  both.  The  fol- 
lowing extract  is  taken  from  its  program  : 

The  Woman's  College  of  Baltimore  was  incorporated  January 
26,  1885.  Its  doors  were  opened  to  students  September  17,  1888. 
The  charter  was  amended  and  the  powers  of  the  corporation  were 
enlarged  by  a  special  Act  of  Legislature,  April  3,  1890.  Over  a 
million  dollars  are  invested  in  its  plant  and  endowment.  It  was 
founded  by  the  Baltimore  Conference  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church  for  the  avowed  purpose  of  offering  young  women  facilities 
for  a  thorough  collegiate  education  under  conditions  equally 
favorable  to  physical  and  moral  well-being.  Its  discipline  is  in 
harmony  with  the  views  of  that  branch  of  the  Protestant  church. 
It  is  sectarian  in  no  other  sense.  Its  instructors  are  selected  for 
their  ability  without  regard  to  their  church  relations,  and  it  wel- 
comes students  of  every  faith  to  the  advantages  that  it  provides. 
No  influence  is  exerted,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  determine  the 
denominational  preferences  of  students ;  but  the  New  Testament 
ideal  of  character  is  presented  and  every  legitimate  influence 
brought  to  bear  in  order  to  its  development. 

The  College  buildings  are  in  the  northern  and  newest  part  of 
the  city,  upon  high  ground  and  amid  charming  surroundings. 
They  are  seven  in  number,  three  devoted  to  instruction  and  admin- 
istration and  four  to  purposes  of  residence.  The  former  are 
massive  stone  structures,  Romanesque  in  style,  and,  with  the  noble

edifice  and  massive  tower  of  the  First  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church,  with  which  they  are  in  strict  architectural  harmony,  con- 
stitute the  most  imposing  block  of  buildings  in  Baltimore.  From 
any  point  of  view  the  tile  covered  roofs,  with  their  broken  lines 
made  up  of  sharp  angles  and  sweeping  curves,  form  a  most  striking 
picture. 

The  interior  of  the  buildings  is  as  inviting  to  the  eye  as  the 
exterior  is  impressive.  All  that  reflection  could  suggest  or  obser- 
vation learn  of  adaptations,  comforts  and  conveniences  have  been 
here  incorporated.  Lofty  halls,  spacious  corridors,  commodious, 
airy,  and  thoroughly  lighted  class  and  lecture  rooms,  cozy  studies, 
quiet  alcoves,  well-appointed  laboratories,  all  promise  serious, 
earnest  work  under  the  healthiest  and  happiest  conditions. 

The  curriculum  is  of  the  improved  modern  type.  There  is  a 
judicious  admixture  of  required  and  elective  studies.  The  group 
system  is  followed,  in  which  studies  are  grouped  in  such  a  way  as 
to  lay  a  sufficient  basis  for  specialization.  The  standard  of  admis- 
sion and  the  standard  of  graduation  are  those  of  the  best  eastern 
colleges.  The  instructors  are  thirty  in  number  and  for  the  most 
part  specialists  in  their  several  departments. 

The  physical  training  of  the  young  women  who  attend  this  Col- 
lege is  carefully  looked  after.  Bennett  Hall  and  its  annex  are 
devoted  to  this  purpose.  Their  design  and  equipment  are  admir- 
ably fitted  to  their  uses.  A  woman-physician  presides  over  the 
Gymnasium,  accurate  measurements  and  careful  examinations  of 
the  students  are  periodically  made,  and  such  exercise  is  appointed 
them  as  their  condition  seems  to  demand.  The  exercises  are 
under  the  direction  of  graduates  of  the  Royal  Central  Gymnastic 
Institute  of  Stockholm,  Sweden,  and  the  system  of  training  is  that 
known  as  the  Swedish  System. 

The  last  register  of  the  College,  1894-95,  shows  an  attendance 
of  two  hundred  and  six  students.  The  graduating  class  of  1895 
numbered  twenty-three.  Thirty-five  different  States  were  repre- 
sented by  the  students  and  all  denominations  of  Christians.

THE   ENOCH   PRATT   FREE   LIBRARY 


i  >]      BALTIMORE    CITY. 


This  institution  was  founded  by  the  gift  to  the  city  of  Baltimore, 
by  Mr.  Enoch  Pratt,  of  a  Main  Library  Building,  costing  some 
$250,000,  and  four  buildings  for  Branch  Libraries,  at  the  average 
expense  of  some  $20,000,  and  a  money  endowment  of  $833,333.33  ; 
on  condition  that  the  city  create  a  perpetual  annuity  of  $50,000  in 
favor  of  a  Board  of  Trustees,  who  should  have  the  power  of  filling 
vacancies  in  their  own  number.  This  gift  was  proffered  in  a 
letter  written  by  Mr.  Pratt  to  the  Mayor  and  City  Council  on 
January  21,  1882.  It  was  voted  by  the  City  Council  on  February  4 
that  they  accept  it  as  soon  as  requisite  legislation  could  be  obtained. 
The  necessary  act  was  speedily  passed  and  approved  on  March  30, 
1882.  On  July  15,  the  City  Council  passed  an  ordinance  provid- 
ing for  the  submission  of  the  question  of  the  acceptance  of  Mr. 
Pratt's  gift  to  the  voters  of  the  city  at  an  election.  On  October  25, 
the  election  was  held  and  a  majority  of  the  votes  were  found  to  be 
for  the  acceptance  of  the  gift.  Work  on  the  buildings  was  now 
rapidly  pushed  and  they  were  reported  as  complete  in  the  fall  of 
1884.  In  November  of  that  year,  Dr.  Lewis  H.  Steiner  of  Fred- 
erick City  was  appointed  Librarian  and  at  once  began  the  work  of 
organization  and  of  the  purchase  ofbooks.  As  a  result  of  this  work, 
the  Library  was  formally  opened  with  public  exercises,  at  the 
Academy  of  Music,  on  the  afternoon  of  January  4,  1886.  In  1888, 
a  fifth  Branch  Library  was  erected  from  the  surplus  which  had 
accumulated  in  the  Library's  income.  In  February,  1892,  Dr. 
Steiner  died  suddenly  and  his  son,  Bernard  C.  Steiner,  the  present 
librarian,  was  appointed  to  succeed  him. 

in  accordance  with  the  desires  of  the  founder,  the  Library  has 
been  open  for  all  citizens  of  Baltimore  on  registration  of  their 
names  and  deposit  of  a  certificate  of  guarantee  from  some  property-

holder.  The  Main  Library  has  always  been  open  from  nine 
o'clock  in  the  morning  to  half  past  eight  (and  the  Reading  Room 
until  ten)  in  the  evening.  The  Branch  Libraries  were  open  from 
two  to  nine  in  the  evening,  until  the  summer  of  1895,  when  three 
of  them  were  opened  in  the  morning,  as  the  Main  Building. 

The  Library  stands  fourth  in  rank  among  the  free  circulating 
libraries  of  the  country,  both  as  to  number  of  books  contained  and 
number  of  books  circulated.  In  the  circulation  of  books  it  has 
been  increasing  at  the  rate  of  50,000  volumes  a  year  for  two  or 
three  years  past.  In  1895  the  circulation  of  books  will  be  in  the 
neighborhood  of  600,000.  From  the  opening  of  the  Library  to 
January  1,  1895,  4,097,113  books  had  been  circulated.  Some 
75,000  persons  have  availed  themselves  of  the  privileges  of  the 
Library,  and  of  these  over  30,000  have  either  registered,  or  made 
renewed  application  for  the  use  of  books,  within  the  past  three 
years.  The  Main  Library  now  possesses  a  collection  of  about 
1 10,000  books;  the  collections  of  the  Branch  Libraries  are  from 
10,000  to  13,000.  Large  numbers  of  carefully  selected  new  books 
are  being  constantly  added  to  these  collections. 

The  Reading  Room  of  the  Main  Library  has  on  file  over  300 
current  magazines  and  periodicals,  and  the  Branch  Library 
Reading  Rooms  each  contains  about  40.  In  addition  to  books  in 
the  English  language,  there  are  to  be  found  on  the  shelves  of  the 
Library  good  collections  of  the  masterpieces  of  literature  in 
German,  French,  Italian,  Spanish,  Portuguese,  Bohemian,  Latin, 
and  Greek.  Thus  the  tastes  of  all  the  inhabitants  are  supplied. 
How  well  the  people  appreciate  the  institution  is  shown  by  the 
fact  that  the  circulation  this  year  is  larger  than  the  number  of 
inhabitants  of  Baltimore  and,  if  evenly  distributed,  would  give 
every  man,  woman  and  child  in  the  city  a  book  to  read  during 
the  year  1895.  The  books  may  be  kept  out  by  borrowers  for  two 
weeks,  after  which  they  become  liable  to  a  fine  of  two  cents  a  day. 
Experience  has  shown  that,  on  the  average,  one  book  in  every 
nineteen  issued  is  kept  out  for  a  day  or  more  over  time. 

Enoch  Pratt,  the  founder  of  the  Library,  was  born  in  North 
Middleborough,  Massachusetts,  on  September  10,  1808,  and  is 
now  87  years  old.  He  graduated  at  Bridgewater  Academy  at  the 
age  of  15,  and  then  entered  a  business  house  in  Boston,  where  he 
remained  until  21  years  of  age.  In  1831  he  removed  to  Baltimore 
and  established  himself  as  a  commission  merchant.  He  founded 
the  wholesale  iron  house  of  Pratt  &  Keith  and  later  that  of  Enoch 
Pratt  &  Brother,  at  the  head  of  which  he  still  remains.  He  has  been 
President  of  the  National  Farmers  and  Planters'  Bank  for  many 
years,  and  for  a  long  period  was  one  of  Baltimore's  finance  com- 
missioners. He  was  closely  identified  with  the  Philadelphia,  Wil- 
mington and  Baltimore  Railroad  Company  for  many  years,  as  well 
as  with  other  railroads  and  steamboat  lines.  He  is  President  of 
the  House  of  Reformation  for  Colored  Children  at  Cheltenham, 
Prince  George's  County,  and  of  the  Maryland  School  for  the  Deaf 
and  Dumb  at  Frederick.

JOHNS  HOPKINS  UNIVERSITY. 


In  1873  Mr.  Johns  Hopkins,  a  wealthy  merchant  of  Baltimore, 
left  the  bulk  of  his  large  fortune  of  between  six  and  seven  millions 
of  dollars  to  found  a  university  and  a  hospital.  For  the  organiza- 
tion and  administration  of  the  University  the  founder  appointed  a 
board  of  twelve  trustees,  selected  for  especial  fitness  for  the 
responsible  trust.  These  gentlemen,  after  carefully  considering 
the  purposes  of  the  testator  and  the  needs  of  the  community,  and 
after  the  examination  of  the  chief  university  systems  in  Europe  and 
the  United  States,  fixed  upon  a  general  design,  which  seemed  to 
combine  the  greatest  advantages  and  to  be,  at  the  same  time, 
elastic  enough  to  admit  of  such  modifications  as  experience  should 
show  to  be  desirable.  The  President  of  the  University  is  ex-officio 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

As  now  constituted,  the  Johns  Hopkins  University  consists  of  a 
collegiate  department,  a  university  department,  and  a  medical 
school,  which  was  opened  in  the  autumn  of  1893  and  is  in  close 
co-operation  with  the  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital.  The  academic 
staff  consisted  in  1894-95  of  eighty-six  members,  including  the 
president,  professors  of  several  grades,  assistants  and  instructors. 
The  students  numbered  in  1894-95,  589. 

The  President  of  the  University  is  Daniel  C.  Gilman,  LL.  D., 
and  the  older  Professors  are  Basil  L.  Gildersleeve,  LL.  D.,  Pro- 
fessor of  Greek,  Simon  Newcomb,  LL.  D.,  Professor  of  Mathe- 
matics and  Astronomy,  Ira  Remsen,  LL.  D.,  Professor  of  Chem-

James  W.  Bright,  Ph.  D.,  Professor  of  English  Philology,  William 
Hand  Browne,  M.  D.,  Professor  of  English  Literature,  William  B. 
Clark,  Ph.  D.,  Professor  of  Organic  Geology. 

The  geographical  distribution  of  the  students  shows  how  widely 
the  reputation  of  the  University  has  spread.  Of  the  2738  students 
enrolled  from  1876  to  1895,  1150  came  from  Maryland  (Baltimore 
furnishing  934),  while  1588  came  from  other  States,  from  Canada, 
Europe,  Japan,  Italy,  France,  etc. 

The  buildings  of  the  University  are  situated  in  a  central  and 
attractive  part  of  the  city.  They  consist  of  eight  large  and  sub- 
stantial structures,  or  halls,  including  separate  laboratories  for 
chemistry,  biology,  geology,  and  physics,  a  new  building  for  the 
medical  school,  McCoy  Hall  (containing  the  general  library  and 
reading  room,  a  large  assembly  room,  and  various  seminary 
and  class-rooms  for  the  departments  of  languages,  history  and 
philosophy),  and  Levering  Hall.  There  is  also  a  gymnasium, 
fitted  out  on  the  Sargent  system,  and  under  the  control  of  a  prop- 
erly qualified  instructor.  Six  of  these  buildings  have  been  paid 
for  out  of  the  revenues  of  the  University,  the  capital  endowment 
being  preserved  intact.  McCoy  Hall,  recently  completed,  was 
built  with  funds  bequeathed  to  the  University  by  John  W.  McCoy, 
of  Baltimore,  and  Levering  Hall,  devoted  to  the  uses  of  the 
University  Christian  Association,  is  the  gift  of  Eugene  Levering, 
of  Baltimore. 

The  library  contains  70,000  volumes,  and  over  IOOO  distinct 
periodicals  are  received,  partly  by  subscription  and  partly  by 
exchange,  from  all  parts  of  the  globe.  In  addition,  members  of 
the  University  can  avail  themselves  of  the  rich  stores  of  the 
neighboring  Peabody  Library,  amounting  to  more  than  120,000 
volumes. 

The  follow;ng  publications  are  regularly  issued  under  the 
auspices  of  the  University,  representing  as  many  leading  branches 
of  study  and  research,  and  numbering  among  their  contributors 
eminent  men  of  science  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic:  The 
American  Journal  of  Mathematics,  The  American  Journal  of  Phil- 
ology, The  American  Chemical  Journal,  Studies  in  Historical  and 
Political  Science,  Biological  Studies,  and  The  Johns  Hopkins 
University  Circulars.  The  University  also  lends  its  aid  from  time 
to  time  to  other  important  publications.

THE  JOHNS  HOPKINS  HOSPITAL. 

The  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital,  doubtless,  is  the  leading  institu- 
tion of  its  kind  in  America.     Mr.  Henry  C.  Burdett,  in  his  great 
work  upon  the  Hospitals  and  Asylums  of  the  World,  introduces  a 
detailed  description  of  this  institution  with  the  following  words; 
"  Seldom,  if  ever,  has  a  hospital  been  started  on  its  career  of  use- 
fulness with  such  deliberate  care,  such  wise  forethought,  such  self- 
sacrificing  search  after  the  best  way,  as  have  been  devoted  to  the 
institution  now  to  be  described."     The  income  from  the  endowment 
(the  endowment  now  amounts  to  about  three  and  one-third  millions 
of  dollars)  was  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  trustees  in   1873,  and 
their  activity  began  at  once.     Several  years  were  devoted  to  per- 
fecting the  plan,  and  the  utmost  care  was  given  to  every  detail  of 
the  construction,  so  that  when  the  institution  was  opened  in  1889, 
Dr.  J.  S.  Billings,  of  the  United  States  Army,  who  had  made  a 
special   study  of  European   hospitals,  was  able  to  affirm  that  in 
regard  to  construction  "  these  were  the  best  buildings  of  their  kind 
in    the    world."     The    Hospital  occupies  four  squares,  covering 
about  fourteen  acres,  upon  an  elevated  site  in  the  eastern  part  of 
the  city.     It  is  built  upon  the  pavilion  system,  the  complete  plan 
calling  for  twenty-five  buildings,  of  which  nineteen  have  been  com- 
pleted.    The  system  of  ventilating  and  heating  is  especially  perfect, 
and  something  of  its  magnitude  is  shown  by  the  total  length  of  the 
piping  in  the  buildings,  which  is  said  to  be  over  sixty  miles.     The 
heating  is  done  by  warm  water  radiators,  through  which  the  incom- 
ing air  passes,  so  that  the  temperature  of  this  air  may  be  regulated 
at  will  without  changing  its  volume.     A  constant  flow  of  fresh  air 
to  the  amount  of  about  one  cubic  foot  per  second  for  each  indi- 
vidual occupying  a  ward  is  maintained  in  all   conditions  of  the 
weather.     The  registers  are  so  arranged  that  the  current  of  air 
never  passes  from  one  bed  to  another,  but  directly  from  each  bed 
to  a  ventilator  located  underneath  or  in  a  central  shaft.     An  account 
of  the  special  features  of  the  construction,  many  of  which  have  been 
worked  out  with  great  care,  fills  many  pages  of  the  large  quarto 
description  published  by  the  trustees  of  the  hospital  and  consti- 
tutes a  valuable  guide  to  those  who  are  preparing  plans  for  such 
buildings. 

The  fifty-eight  private  rooms  for  pay  patients  are  nearly  always 
occupied,  and  the  free  wards  contain  an  average  of  about  one 
hundred  and  twelve  patients.  The  total  number  under  treatment 
in  the  Hospital  last  year  was  3018,  while  the  out-patient  depart- 
ment prescribed  for  56,179  others. 

The  nursing  is  well  organized,  with  a  superintendent,  thirteen 
head  nurses  and  sixty-one  pupils.  The  training  school  for  nurses 
is  especially  efficient.  The  instruction  extends  over  a  period  of 
two  years,  and  embraces  a  course  of  six  weeks  in  the  art  of  cooking. 
The  educational  work  of  the  Hospital  has  been  greatly  increased 
by  the  opening  of  the  Medical  School  of  the  Johns  Hopkins 
University,  of  which  it  was  designed  to  become  a  part.
